I suspect that SeaJets is going to sell Majesty for scrap.

Maybe, but a bit strange as they have just taken the trouble to rename her MAJESTY OF THE OCEANS.

Yes, and painted on properly rather than in a hasty manner, as is usually the case for a ship about to head off to the scrap yard.

Maybe they're trying to make her look nice before she goes.

Surely Royal Caribbean would not allow name to be "Name" of the Seas after it had been sold ?

Interesting that Seajets now appear to have three ships renamed AEGEAN ... (MYTH, MAJESTY and GODDESS) and two named ... OF THE SEAS (QUEEN, MAJESTY).  There appear to be two groups being established and perhaps there are two plans under consideration.  Fascinating!

It is Queen of the Oceans and Majesty of the Oceans ...... not 'of the Seas.'

Yes, thanks Clive.  My silly error in writing quickly!  Still fascinating there appear to be two groups and what might happen to the five ships.

Personally, I think that with those seemingly thoughtful renaming of the ships there is at least an intention of a future of further trading for them. If they had been acquired just in order to turn a fast buck at the breakers yard then why go to the bother of such renaming?

I tend to agree with you Clive and thanks for rectifying the name issue... and as you said, not sloppily painted over either...however, one can never tell with SeaJets...

I agree and it is the point I was trying to make - rather clumsily given my error re names!  Further plans seem quite possible - the 3 AEGEANs would probably seem most immediately employable perhaps whereas the other two might be seen as a bit of a strange duo.  Why go to the trouble of renaming as they have if they plan to sell for scrap?

On this renaming matter, can anyone suggest why the announced fourth Azamara vessel has been renamed P PRINCE.  Is this them waiting for financing or does it suggest the plan has fallen through?

would be interested in thoughts.

I have not heard anything untoward regarding Azamara and their acquisition of Pacific Princess. I would take a guess this is a holding name until the purchase has been completed.

Recently received an email, video clip included from Azamara announcing Azamara Onward to debut in 2022. I suspect Clive is correct and this is a holding name until she is handed over. The clip is quite clever it incorporates journey, quest and pursuit in announcing Azamara Onward.
